Sharrk Ventures — M&A Advisory & Capital Raises

About the Firm

Senior-led advisory for
cross-border transactions

Sharrk Ventures is a boutique capital advisory firm that helps companies and investors navigate M&A, fundraising, and financial structuring across the US, Europe, and high-growth emerging markets.

Unlike large firms that pass your deal to junior analysts, at Sharrk you work directly with Taranpreet Singh — Oxford (Saïd) PGDip, Stanford Seed graduate, and SDA Bocconi certified — and a senior team that stays with your engagement from the first call through close.

We specialise in the transatlantic and European corridors where institutional coverage is thin but transaction activity is growing: US–UK, US–Europe, and intra-European cross-border deals.

How We Work

A structured, confidential process
from first call to close

Every engagement is scoped to your specific goals. No cookie-cutter packages. No junior handoffs.

Discovery & Scoping

We begin with a confidential strategy call to understand your business, transaction objectives, and timeline. If there's a fit, we design a tailored engagement with clear deliverables and milestones.

Preparation & Positioning

We build your investor materials, model your financials, prepare your data room, and refine your narrative — so you go to market from a position of strength, not scramble.

Execution & Close

We activate our investor network, manage outreach, coordinate diligence, and support negotiations — staying directly involved until the transaction closes and value is realised.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before scheduling a call.

Entrepreneurs and founders preparing for a fundraise or exit ($1M–$100M), investors and family offices evaluating cross-border opportunities, and mid-market companies seeking M&A advisory or capital structuring. Our clients span technology, healthcare, real estate, financial services, and more.

At larger firms, your deal gets assigned to junior analysts. At Sharrk, you work directly with senior advisors throughout. We also specialise in transatlantic and European cross-border corridors — US–UK and US–Europe — where most generalist firms lack the networks and local context to execute effectively.

It starts with a confidential strategy call to understand your goals. If there's a fit, we scope a tailored engagement with clear deliverables, timelines, and milestones. There are no cookie-cutter packages — every engagement is built around what your specific transaction needs.

Our pricing is structured to align our incentives directly with your outcomes. We offer flexible engagement models tailored to the scope and complexity of each transaction. We're transparent about pricing from the first conversation — book a call to discuss specifics.

We have deep experience in technology & SaaS, healthcare, real estate, financial services, consumer goods, education, and professional services. Our cross-sector experience is especially valuable for companies operating at the intersection of multiple verticals or entering new geographic markets across the US, UK, and Western Europe.

Yes. We work with companies from pre-revenue through to mature businesses planning an exit. The common thread is that our clients are serious about executing a transaction and want professional advisory to maximise their outcome — not just a deck template.

Most engagements begin within one week of the initial call. We move quickly because we know deal timelines don't wait. Book a call and we'll have a scoping proposal to you within 48 hours of our conversation.
